Hey SDS please tone the home runs down cause it’s unbelievably ridiculous. Your game is already $60 so I’m not going to spend $100+ on stubs to buy all 99 players cause that’s clearly what you want with this bs game.. 90% of the players are unusable and all I see in online play is teams with the exact same players.. is this really what the game has come to? Kinda boring when you face the exact same 99 players every game online..
90% of the pitches in the zone get hit for home runs.. no matter what. If it’s in the zone 90% of the time it’s going to be a home run. I was using 97 lee smith and people online are very early on 100+mph pitches and they’re still hitting home runs. Every pitch way out of the zone is fouled off until you’re forced to pitch in the zone and it’s an automatic home run given even if it’s in the corner and the person is late on it.
I remember in older versions of mlb the show you could use all sorts of cards like golds and silvers and have some degree of success and you had to actually think to build out a team. Now 90% of the cards are unusable and every team is full of 99 players already. I used to use the daily matchup boosted players to build competitive teams and now I don’t even care for it cause all those players are unusable cause all you’re facing is 99 players.
If you try and use a low diamond or gold pitcher it’s automatic home runs if any pitch is in the zone no matter what and that’s just ridiculous. It’s not like I’m just throwing the pitch down the middle.
I’ve been playing this game for years and am not a bad player but this years game is beyond ridiculous with the home run rate. Of course I’m hitting my share of home runs but all this game is home run or contact out no matter how you pitch.
Is the excuse really everybody’s eye is otherworldly?? I say absolutely not. The game has been tuned to allowing way too many home runs and for contact to be made so easily that pitching is completely irrelevant at this point.
have unlocked jeter and chipper, NMS to, just have to grind

Problem number 1 was using Lee Smith lol he’s booty.
wishing I could give him back... I thought it was just me not pitching good with him... I got tricked into picking him and something told me not to especially since I had Devin Williams waiting for me in the Season 1 XP Path Reward Boss pack (although I was torn between picking him or Rickey Henderson)... I really wanted Lee Smith to work out for me... maybe I'll try him in some other modes before trotting him back out in Ranked.

HRs against is always an SDS problem and a HR for is always skill! Players can't take the blame for giving up HRs!
I still can' t get over the walkoffs I gave up this weekend... definitely asked myself "why did I throw that pitch there as my opponent started his/her swing" then I shook my fist in the air and asked the SDS devs why they didn't nerf HRs in that very moment knowing full well that I was thoroughly enjoying the few dingers (and one inside-the-parker with Reynolds) tat I was able o get this weekend.. lol

You think $100 is going to get someone an all 99 squad?
I spent 100 dollars (Cost when I bought the game)
and I have 7 99 Hitters
and 3 99 PitchersSo I think if I spent 100 dollars on stubs I could definitely have a full lineup of 99 players and like half my pitchers
Go get em!
God no, it's a waste of money as you get plenty of free stubs and cards as Is. I was just stating that 100$ could actually get someone a full team of 99's if they actually played the game some also.
I don't know about $100 because $100 = 150k stubs... 99 Alvarez (Future Stars) goes for over 100k last I check and was dropping no lower than 90k when I looked last night before jumping on Baty for (97 ovr) for 20k+ since he was less than the pack and I had just enough stubs to snatch him up... now my grind continues as I try to build my stub bank to atleast 50k for a Future Stars "Welcome To My Show" pack in hopes that I get the Rare Round for Alvarez.
Judging by the number of packs some of these guys opened during early access I'd say more than $100 was spent given that a lot of guys had more than 150 Show Packs and 2 Chase Packs.
I get the sentiment but definitely more than $100, trust I know from past experience dumping money into this game to try to create content... this year I'm taking a more conservative approach leaning more towards grinding more and purchasing less.

I agree. Its either a ball, foul or a 500ft shot and nothing else. Pitching is trash.
its never user error, its always the games fault.

You could spend thousands of dollars like YouTube streaming content creators I won't name and still give up home runs and lose. It's a skill issue. If everyone has 99 god squads and plays on Legendary, you will still give to home runs to a player that's skilled with the PCI stick.
Also take into account the difficulty level, and pitchers abilities. It increases or shrinks the PCI. Difficulty makes the balls move faster. So that 102 fastball on veteran looks way more faster on all-star, hall of fame and legend.
I've seen players with good skills still get out too. I won't name names of the content creators unless it's OKd by the moderators. Not cheating. Just better skill level.
Don't get discouraged. I never go into a ranked game expecting to win or lose anymore. I just try to have fun now.

What y’all crying about today
This guy is the most useless poster on any forum. I’ve seen more useful spam posts for erectile disfunction pills than anything this guy types on this forum.
Well his post is funny and timely.

Look at Kevin on youtube. That guy has improved immensely. 16-1 in ranked. Even McGunski has lost.
Dimmu makes no money spent quality competitive ranked content. All use the PCI and are skilled. Even they miss pitches. Like a poster earlier. Be unpredictable when pitching. -
You could watch Kevin on YouTube play a ranked game and blow a 2-0 lead in the ninth only to win in the bottom 3-2. Lots of jam shot outs and ground balls.
Both pitched well.
